if you got the new dashboard sitting there, why not just look where all the holes are for mounting? I'm pretty sure you may have to remove the steering wheel to get the dashboard off too.

The blower motor...are youu referring to the big black box thing in the middle behind the dash? If so, what all did you do to remove it?

kill my self, well if your removing the dash it will be easier because there is one screw behind the air bag, so remove the dash 1st and alldata has the hours set at 6 to remove and reinstall the dash

It's marvelous!!!! this is the information that I have been looking for.
I also need to remove the whole dashboard.

swagger_wagon468, can I ask the procedure how you did?

the haynes manual, clitons and factory manual don't say anything about this...
Last time I almost broke the front window and bended the dash board.

plz tell me the procedure and more pics will be really appreciated

thank you

Had the dash out before on my old Camry. There's bolts behind the IP, under the lower dash on the driver's side, behind the glove box, behind the side defrost vents (which are very fragile), and I think that's it. You don't need to remove the steering wheel, but you'll have to do a bit a manuvering to get it out. I used to have a diagram for it. Let me see if I can find it.

I'm curious where you purchased the dashboard at. Did you buy it from the dealer?
